Using a validation set to monitor the convergence of the fugw loss#
In this example, we use 3 fMRI feature maps for training and 2 independant fMRI feature maps for testing to examine the evolutions of a training and a validation loss on 2 low-resolution brain volumes.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from nilearn import datasets, image, plotting
from scipy.spatial import distance_matrix
from fugw.mappings import FUGW
We first fetch 5 contrasts for each subject from the localizer dataset.
n_subjects = 2
contrasts = [
"sentence reading vs checkerboard",
"sentence listening",
"calculation vs sentences",
"left vs right button press",
"checkerboard",
]
n_training_contrasts = 3
brain_data = datasets.fetch_localizer_contrasts(
contrasts,
n_subjects=n_subjects,
get_anats=True,
get_masks=True,
)
source_imgs_paths = brain_data["cmaps"][0 : len(contrasts)]
target_imgs_paths = brain_data["cmaps"][len(contrasts) : 2 * len(contrasts)]
source_mask = brain_data["masks"][0]
source_im = image.load_img(source_imgs_paths)
target_im = image.load_img(target_imgs_paths)
mask = image.load_img(source_mask)
/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/nilearn/datasets/func.py:893: UserWarning:
`legacy_format` will default to `False` in release 0.11. Dataset fetchers will then return pandas dataframes by default instead of recarrays.
We then downsample the images by 5 to reduce the computational cost.
SCALE_FACTOR = 5
resized_source_affine = source_im.affine.copy() * SCALE_FACTOR
resized_target_affine = target_im.affine.copy() * SCALE_FACTOR
source_im_resized = image.resample_img(source_im, resized_source_affine)
target_im_resized = image.resample_img(target_im, resized_target_affine)
mask_resized = image.resample_img(mask, resized_source_affine)
source_maps = np.nan_to_num(source_im_resized.get_fdata())
target_maps = np.nan_to_num(target_im_resized.get_fdata())
segmentation = mask_resized.get_fdata()
coordinates = np.argwhere(segmentation > 0)
source_features = source_maps[
coordinates[:, 0], coordinates[:, 1], coordinates[:, 2]
].T
target_features = target_maps[
coordinates[:, 0], coordinates[:, 1], coordinates[:, 2]
].T
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(projection="3d")
ax.scatter(coordinates[:, 0], coordinates[:, 1], coordinates[:, 2], marker="o")
ax.view_init(10, 135)

ax.xaxis.set_pane_color((1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0))

# make the grid lines transparent

ax.yaxis._axinfo["grid"]["color"] = (1, 1, 1, 0)
ax.zaxis._axinfo["grid"]["color"] = (1, 1, 1, 0)
ax.set_title("3D voxel coordinates")
plt.show()

/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/nilearn/image/resampling.py:294: UserWarning:
Resampling binary images with continuous or linear interpolation. This might lead to unexpected results. You might consider using nearest interpolation instead.
We then compute the distance matrix between voxel coordinates.
source_geometry = distance_matrix(coordinates, coordinates)
target_geometry = source_geometry.copy()
In order to avoid numerical errors when fitting the mapping, we normalize both the features and the geometry.
source_features_normalized = source_features / np.linalg.norm(
source_features, axis=1
).reshape(-1, 1)
target_features_normalized = target_features / np.linalg.norm(
target_features, axis=1
).reshape(-1, 1)
source_geometry_normalized = source_geometry / np.max(source_geometry)
target_geometry_normalized = target_geometry / np.max(target_geometry)
We now fit the mapping using the sinkhorn solver and 10 BCD iterations. We use the first 3 feature maps for training and the last 2 for validation. Anatomical kernels are kept identical for both training and validation, as it will usually be the case in practice when aligning real fMRI data.
mapping = FUGW(alpha=0.5, rho=1, eps=1e-4)
_ = mapping.fit(
source_features=source_features_normalized[:n_training_contrasts],
target_features=target_features_normalized[:n_training_contrasts],
source_geometry=source_geometry_normalized,
target_geometry=target_geometry_normalized,
source_features_val=source_features_normalized[n_training_contrasts:],
target_features_val=target_features_normalized[n_training_contrasts:],
